Find out the best information about the process of getting the Residence Permit to decide if studying abroad in Denmark is right for you.

How much time will it take to get my visa?

After you've applied, you can expect that you'll wait about 60 days for the decision.

Main steps to take for the Danish student visa

Here is what Iranian students have to do to get a student visa that will allow them to study in Denmark:

Apply online and attend a scheduled meeting at the Danish embassy or consulate closest to where you live. You and your educational institution are each required to complete a part of the form for the Residence Permit.

Iranian students maybe have to provide biometrics during the visa application process. Your biometrics are, basically, extra identification (e.g. fingerprinting and pictures) that countries use for security purposes.

You will have to attend a visa interview during the application process.

The Residence Permit from Denmark is valid for up to duration of the course. So that you can stay during your entire degree programme, you may need to renew your visa every year. If you want to stay in Denmark after your degree is over, you will have to apply for a different visa, or a visa renewal through the immigration office.

How much will I have to pay for the student visa?

To apply for the Danish Residence Permit, you will also have to pay a fee of 2110 DKK. Depending on your situation, Danish authorities will allow you to pay this fee online, on location at a visa application centre in Iran, or through a bank transfer.

What documents will I need to get for my student visa?

When you apply for your visa, one of the most important things you need to prove is that you can support yourself during your study programme. For Denmark, they require you to prove that you paid the tuition fee for the first semester or that you have available 6090 DKK/per month either from an external source, or already in your bank account.

Iranian students won't have to prove they speak English well enough to study in an international university in Denmark. These language skills ensure that you can succeed in your classes and manage your way around Denmark.
